  • Partnership Agreement
    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS Introduction In May of 1999, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), entered into a Partnership for the purpose of improving the educational opportunities for African Americans in Kentucky's public institutions of higher education. As part of the Partnership process, the Commonwealth and OCR examined the status of African Americans regarding access, enrollment, retention, and graduation at the Commonwealth’s institutions of higher education. The Partnership process has been a joint, cooperative effort and has not attempted to make legal findings or to conduct any type of legal proceedings. The result of the Partnership process is the following agreement: Part I of the agreement provides an historical overview of Kentucky's system of public higher education, including an outline of Kentucky’s original five-year desegregation plan and a summary of the Commonwealth's recent efforts to increase African American students' access, retention, and graduation in higher education. Part II summarizes the development and accomplishments of the Partnership process. Part III sets forth the commitments that OCR anticipates will bring Kentucky into full compliance with Title VI and the Fordice standards regarding Kentucky's system of public higher education. I. OVERVIEW OF KENTUCKY'S SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION A. Kentucky's System of Public Higher Education The Commonwealth of Kentucky's system of public postsecondary education consists of eight four-year universities, fourteen community colleges, and fifteen technical colleges. For the purpose of this agreement, the eight public universities and the thirteen community colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and the University of Kentucky - Lexington Community College are included.

  • History of *Columbus
    www.gagenweb.org (C) 2005 Electronic Edition nated Abraham Lincoln. Following all these disturbances in the National Democratic party's membership in this state and other sections, three nominees were put up for President, each having ardent supporters among all the slave-holding states. Douglas and Johnson, Bell and Elliot, and Breckenridge and Lane, all had their votes and were upheld in Georgia respectively by Stephens, Hill, and Toombs. These Georgians stumped the state for their favorites, all coming to Columbus. Douglas accompanied by Stephens addressid a large gathering from the porch of the Oglethorpe Hotel. Hill and Toombs at other times spoke from the same place. The result of the campaign in Georgia was the selection of a Brecken- ridge and Lane electoral ticket at the Democratic State convention on Au- gust 8, 1860. Peyton H. Colquitt and his brother, Alfred H. Colquitt, were both delegates, though from different counties. At the subsequent Douglas and Johnson convention many supporters went over to the Breckenridge and Lane ticket, among them A. H. Chappell, one of the most ardent leaders. The result of the national election came eventually, however, and Lincoln and Hamlin were announced victorious. The effect on the South was instantaneous and maddening. The Georgia legislature, the same as of 1 8 59, assembled and made Gen. C. J. Williams, of Columbus, Speaker of the House, in place of I. T. Irwin who had died. The main action of the legislature was the calling of a convention of the people of the state to be held January 16th, 1861, at Milledgeville to take up the matter of union or secession.

Remini Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher 1 Discovery and Settlement of the New World here are many intriguing mysteries surrounding the peo- T pling and discovery of the western hemisphere. Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.

  • A Rock Evaluation Schema for Transporting Planning in Kentucky
    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION JAMES E. GRAY WENDELL H. FORD FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY 40601 SECRETARY GOVERNOR May 29, 1974 H.3.13 MEMO TO: J. R. Harbison State Highway Engineer Chairman, Research Committee SUBJECT: Research Report No. 390; 11 A Rock Evaluation Schema for Transportation Planning in Kentucky; 11 Soil mantles and bedrock systems in Kentucky are being well defined pedologically and geologically. Agricultural soils maps, together with topographic and geological quadrangle maps, provide excellent, megascopic information for land-use guidance and site planning. In some respects, the agricultural and geologic technologies have surpassed or by-passed soil-and-rock mechanics -- that is, the engineering technology. During the past several years, the Soil Conservation Service in Kentucky has included engineering data and descriptions furnished by the Research Division in their publications. Also, U.S.G.S. notes some engineering information on the new, geological quadrangle maps. For instance, they note some aggregate sources and fossil slides and instances where highway embankments have shown a history of instability. As mentioned, engineering data on soils has been steadily accumulated during the past 25 years. It is now possible in many areas to indicate the most probable value of some properties and the expected range and variability. Rock data have not been accumulated; and, so, the purpose of the report submitted herewith is to bring into view the possibilities of beginning to assemble and catalog rock data in an orderly way for eventual reporting along with soils data. The Bureau of Highways is the principal source of engineering data for soils and produces extensive footages or rock cores from borings at bridge sites and along highway corridors.
